Why'd they stopped making tv shows as good as x-files? - Lemmy.World

The special efx haven’t gotten more expensive, cameras haven’t risen in price, writers don’t seem to be demanding particular high prices, netflix takes anything that you can pitch without saying the word disney. So what in the world happened? X-files was an amazing show and watching it you are not only entertained but you care about mulder and scully. The show is genuinely a great time. Why did they stop making them like this?

I’m middle-aged, and Xfiles was great, but some of the best shows I’ve seen have been in the last decade

For example, Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul are two series I could watch on repeat. Absolutely solid.

First few seasons of Orange is the New Black (really ran out of steam after that imo)

Now, sci-fi specifically … it’s been a while since I’ve seen a good one. Some people I know really, really like The Expanse, though for me it just didn’t connect. Black Mirror is hit and miss, but when it hits, it’s amazing (the stinker episodes are real stinkers though).

I mean … Game of Thrones. Just not the finale lol

I tried Breaking Bad - hated it. I never gave Better Call Saul a chance as there is nothing that seemed promising about it. I guess I could watch an episode of Better Call Saul, I just don’t see this being a good idea. Now I can’t hate it because I never watched, it once I watch an entire episode, I have a hunch I won’t remain so indifferent… :/

It might not be your thing, and that’s okay.

Like I said, I’m surrounded by people who love The Expanse, yet it just isn’t my thing.

yeah it’s the worst when you hate something and society insists it’s the best thing since sliced bread…

Ok then… can you explain (in detail prferably) what got you hooked oh X-Files, the things you live about the show?
